Fruit set improves when flowers carry viable pollen and are retained after pollination. Supply adequate boron and calcium for viable pollen and strong flower tissue, keep nutrition balanced and plant energy high at bloom, and limit heat and water stress during flowering. A bloom-stage program supports set and reduces deformation. Track set rate, flower and fruit drop, malformed fruit and fruit per cluster through the bloom-to-set window, where the losses happen.

Why do pollination and fruit set matter?
A crop can look healthy and still lose much of its potential at bloom. Pollen Boost is one of Vegalab's strongest commercial products - a pollination promoter that supports flower bud differentiation, supplies nutrients at pollination, helps prevent fruit deformation, and promotes new shoot development. Improving set converts more flowers into harvestable fruit.
How do you measure fruit set?
Track set rate (fruit retained vs. flowers), flower/fruit drop, malformed-fruit rate, and fruit per cluster. Watch the bloom-to-set window, where the losses happen.
What drives pollination and fruit set?
- Adequate boron and calcium for viable pollen and strong flower tissue
- Good plant energy and balanced nutrition at bloom
- Low heat and water stress during flowering
- A bloom-stage program that supports set and reduces deformation
